New Software Updates Discussion Thread

That old one telling:
'L616': 'L615'- 'L615'
means - for those who who had L615.

L615 was spooled by zip codes. L616 is spooling to a range of receivers, check the software updates thread to see if your receiver is in that range. Look at the serial numbers if you don't know yours, just press Menu twice and look for the R00 number.

It was first spooled to all receivers that had l615 (see your own numbers that were quoted by the person you answered) but the new identifiers are in fact, as you said, to a range of serial numbers (73174765-78927837). See http://www.satelliteguys.us/1654453-post476.html (New Software Updates thread)

So what about we customers who have never been updated with 615 to begin with? I guess I don't understand why most of the country is still on 614 when 616 has been released.

tnsprin posted URL to that spool just above your post - did you check your DVR IDs against last spool ?!

Yes, I did, but when you said earlier:

"That old one telling:
'L616': 'L615'- 'L615'
means - for those who who had L615."

I took that to mean that of you didn't have 615 that you wouldn't get 616 since in the software thread he linked to, this was said:

"'L616': 'L040'- 'L615'
'L616': 'L040'- 'L615'"

So are you telling me they are releasing 616 to all receivers based on the serial numbers, or is 616 going to receivers that meet both requirements of having 615 AND falling in the serial number range?

You're mixing them up. There's been a different update on different days. The first one was just by zip codes (L615), then they released L616 to some receivers based on serial numbers. Most likely next week, there will be another batch of receivers and so on.

With the L614, I didn't have any problem with my 722. Now, the L616 can not able to watch my local channels thru OTA. No signal on my local channels at all using my OTA. What a mess we got now. New year with no local channels on my local antenna. We should fired all the programming engineers.

Did you re-scan for locals? They should have been kept but who knows.

RandallA listed an expanded list of serial #'s for the 622 this AM( 73174765-82708798). My 81xxxxxx, sure enough got it today! At last folders for EHD's! For me it was my only wish.
